Telefunken M81 BLUE - Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone (Blue Body, Blue Grille)

Professional Sound in a Rugged Dynamic Microphone
Designed for demanding live performances and studio recordings, the Telefunken M81 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone delivers the sonic depth of a condenser with the durability of a dynamic mic. Its wide 50 Hz to 18 kHz frequency response ensures clarity and presence, while the supercardioid polar pattern enhances isolation, making it ideal for vocals, instruments, and percussion. Whether on stage or in the studio, this mic provides exceptional sound reproduction with a smooth midrange and controlled high frequencies.

Enhanced Midrange Clarity for a Balanced Tone
Unlike conventional dynamic microphones, the M81 is tailored to refine bright or thin sources, ensuring a more natural and well-balanced tone. The microphone’s frequency tuning allows for a slightly subdued high-end response, taming harshness in vocals, guitars, and brass instruments while preserving articulation and definition. This makes it a preferred choice for engineers and performers seeking a microphone that complements a wide range of sound sources.

Supercardioid Polar Pattern for Maximum Isolation
With its supercardioid design, the M81 offers superior off-axis rejection, making it an excellent choice for high-volume environments. Whether used for live sound reinforcement or studio applications, its focused pickup pattern minimizes background noise and feedback while maintaining precise detail in the primary sound source. This ensures that your recordings and performances remain clean and free from unwanted interference.

Handles High Sound Pressure Levels with Ease
Capable of handling SPLs up to 135 dB, the M81 is built to capture loud sound sources without distortion. Whether you’re miking snare drums, electric guitar cabinets, or brass instruments, this microphone delivers dynamic accuracy with remarkable headroom. Its robust diaphragm construction ensures reliability, even in extreme performance conditions.

Minimized Proximity Effect for Consistent Sound
The head and capsule design of the M81 is engineered to reduce proximity effect, preventing excessive bass buildup when close-miking vocals or instruments. This results in a clearer and more articulate performance without the need for excessive EQ adjustments. The balanced frequency response ensures a natural low-end presence without overwhelming the mix.

Custom-Wound Transformer for Optimal Audio Performance
Inside the M81, a custom-wound Telefunken T80 transformer enhances signal integrity, providing a rich and full-bodied sound. This component plays a crucial role in maintaining high-fidelity audio transmission, ensuring every detail of the source is captured accurately. The transformer’s design contributes to the microphone’s smooth frequency response and extended dynamic range.

Complete Package for Versatile Use
The Telefunken M81 includes a microphone clip and a leather storage bag for secure transport and protection. Its rugged construction ensures durability for touring musicians and studio professionals alike. Whether you’re performing on stage or capturing recordings in the studio, this microphone is built to deliver consistent, high-quality results.
